Chapter 554: The Allied Powers Group is covered by clouds
From the Battle of the Marne to the Battle of Verdun, and to the Battle of the Somme, Germany and the British and French forces caused several major battles. The total number of casualties on both sides reached more than 4 million. In the Battle of the Somme, new weapons stole the show.
Among them is the German-made Maxim heavy machine gun, which has become the main creator of bloodshed and a cruel and ruthless killer on the battlefield.
Most of the countless British and French soldiers fell under the Maxim heavy machine guns and became innocent victims, because during the Battle of the Somme, the British and French forces still used the Xu Jin barrage as a cover to attack.
Let the infantry march in horizontal lines, but you must know that in this battle, the German army had trenches composed of heavy machine guns and artillery, which were enough to form a strong defensive firepower, so it consumed a large number of British and French infantry.
But at that time, the main weapons of the British and French soldiers were only rifles. The impact on the German positions was too limited, and it could not even shake the powerful firepower of the German defensive positions. Therefore, most of the British and French soldiers were killed before they reached the front line of the trenches.
Already suffering casualties, although the British and French forces tried to use new weapons and tanks, the Germans also had their own tanks to fight against.
After the United States declared its participation in the war, some Latin American countries that relied on the United States also followed the United States in declaring war on the Allied Powers. Therefore, the inevitable result was that the scope of the war expanded again. However, most of these American countries participated in the war in name only and did not participate in the war in name.
They haven't actually gone to war, but there are some people who are unwilling to be left alone.
Among them was Little Japan. After five years of adjustment, Little Japan once again wanted to make a comeback unwillingly. It decided to send troops to Europe and directly declare war on Germany. However, in fact, a large number of Little Japan's troops were stationed in the Americas and the Pacific.
Wanting to acquire some islands in the Pacific region as a springboard for the future, so after Little Japan sent troops to occupy some uninhabited islands in the Pacific, Little Japan's actions must have aroused dissatisfaction with the Far East Group, and an island war at sea must have occurred.
war, but this time the United States strongly supported Japan and chose to join the battle against the Far East Army.
Britain and the United States are absolute allies, one dominates Europe, the other is far away in America, but the United States and Japan are also allies.
Little Japan's declaration of war on the Allies was just thinking out of its ass. Li Ningyu also knew that Little Japan's strategic goal was to obtain the Asian continent. As for the European battlefield thousands of miles away, it was definitely not Little Japan's goal, and it would not be stupid enough to go thousands of miles away to participate in the war.
.
Little Japan must have taken advantage of the general situation of World War I and took advantage of the fact that the Western powers had no time to look east. In addition, the British authorities hoped that Little Japan could continue to contain the military power of the Far East, so that the Far East Army would be trapped in Europe and Asia.
America was fighting on three fronts and was unable to support Germany.
But the Allied Powers seem to have forgotten something. Little Japan has never defeated the Far East Army since the beginning of the Korean War, and this time is no exception. Not to mention that although Little Japan is like an invincible little power, even without the support of the United States
, but the huge gap that has emerged is enough for Japan to never be able to hold its head high.
After the Battle of the Somme, France was still struggling to cope with the heavy pressure from the German legions on the Western Front, and the decadent Russian Empire finally broke out in the Great Revolution, so that the United States became one of the main forces of the Allied Powers. Due to the entire strategy of World War I
The center of gravity is in Europe, so almost everyone's attention is also in Europe.
Faced with such a good situation, although little Japan declared war as an Allied power, it directly seized territory in the Pacific region and reaped benefits directly at home. It did not even think about deploying troops to expedition to Europe. It only dispatched three destroyers to fight with the United States in the Atlantic Ocean.
The fleet went to the Mediterranean to assist the navies of Britain, France, and Italy and to check and balance the navies of the Far East, but these were not the main force of the small Japanese navy.
You must know that if Japan's navy and army go to Europe to fight, they will have to rely on British overseas colonies for supplies along the way. However, they will have to face the threat of German submarines. This is a very risky deployment of troops. Even if they can finally
To reach the European theater safely, Little Japan must rely on Britain and France for logistical supplies. Little Japan's operational independence is very limited. In view of the cruelty of World War I, Little Japan wisely chose to wait and see and did not send its main troops.
Europe joins the war.
Because Little Japan clearly knows that once it goes, it is likely to suffer devastating losses. Even if it gains a greater international status and has the interests of the victorious country, in the end it will not be worth the gain and its own vitality will be greatly damaged. Therefore, Little Japan
The center of gravity is still Asia, and it is absolutely impossible to send the main force to fight in Europe.
But all this does not mean that the Far East Army will give up such an opportunity to attack Little Japan. Therefore, after Little Japan and the United States declared war on Germany, Li Ningyu immediately reached a number of agreements with William II and promised that the Far East Army would attack Japan.
Contain small Japan and the United States.
From the United States to the United Kingdom, a long sea route is required. Since the outbreak of World War I, the main task of the German Atlantic Fleet has been to block all channels from the Atlantic into the United Kingdom and strive to cut off all British logistical supplies. However, the Americans
Since the beginning of World War I, he has been helping secretly, even before the war was declared.
However, with the addition of the Far East Army, and the direct war between the United States and Mexico, it became more and more serious, and the United States had to start tightening its belt. However, the Allied Powers knew that the Far East Army would not launch a large-scale attack.
, so they are a bit unscrupulous.
So at such a time, China entered the war.
In fact, on the issue of whether to participate in the First World War, domestic political parties had very different opinions and fierce struggles. However, everyone knew that in the end, it was Li Ningyu who had the most say, although he did not have any
He still holds the position, but if Li Ningyu stands up and says a word, it can be compared to a nationwide mobilization order.
Because in the hearts of hundreds of millions of people across the country, Li Ningyu is their god. It was he who led everyone from darkness to new light. It was at this time that domestic historians began to uncover pieces of history.
And from various historical documents, it was found that little Japan belonged to China thousands of years ago, and Li Ningyu also saw the right opportunity and stood up at this time, publicly demanding that Little Japan and all Western powers punish the crimes they had committed.
For the crime of invading China, publicly issue a statement to apologize!
At this time, the societies of various countries were in an uproar, but the German authorities first issued an apology, and then other members of the Allied Powers Group also issued long public apologies. Suddenly, the tense atmosphere of World War I, and the cloud of the Far East Army's full participation in the war, enveloped the Allied Powers.
on the head of the group.
